I intentionally waited to write or conceptualize this post until the snow stopped. So, let’s just say this if for dressing in spring in Colorado, between May and June, because that is actually what I’m writing about. If you’re looking for advice on what to wear between March-May, I recommend clothing from every season plus [...]

Estes Park 2019
Moving and living out of state from your family means the time you have together is always a little sweeter. Yes, I love my family but I also really love not living in Texas where the heat and bugs are bigger. Since moving back to Colorado in 2017, we've made a mindful attempt for me [...]
Women’s Retreat @ RMMC 2019
This is such a strange time, self care is both encouraged by society but not so much that it becomes the only thing on your mind. It’s emotional, physical, and spiritual. Some Christians downright don’t like it as it comes across to them as selfish and indulgent. In case you haven’t heard, my husband suffers [...]
Walk for Freedom | 2018 Colorado Springs
I'm not sure where I get my strong sense of fairness and ethics. I'm always surprised when I meet people and I get into my strong ethics they ask if I was ever in animal rescue. Yeah? Why? My strong love for justice for the oppressed and the innocent is deep, it flows through every [...]
Trip Update | Philadelphia September 2018
Well, I finally made it to Philadelphia! Technically, it was a business trip but I made a whole thing of it because I'd never been before. There are no direct flights from COS to PHL, so I flew out of the Springs and went to Chicago for the first time. I wasn't worried about my [...]

Although if you've been reading along, you know a huge portion of this month was devoted to a family vacation, which was a much-needed break from reality. Instead of buying gifts for our birthdays this month, Travis and I [...]

Canon City 2018
Well, the 2018 Shelby's family come to Colorado for vacation was a hit. We had fun to say the least. The closest to a family vacation with all of us before this one was all of us in Vegas a few years ago for my dad's birthday. This was even better. My mom found us [...]
Hiking with Dogs
One of the best investments I ever made in hiking gear, besides good hiking boots, was a backpack for my dog. Asher has a Ruffwear Approach Pack, at least I think that is what he has it's an older model. collapsable bowls- with at least 2 cups of food + treats because yum and [...]
Preparing for a Hike in Colorado
I used to hike a lot on my own when I lived here 4 years ago. But upon moving back I realized how unprepared I was for hiking again. Not to mention I was wildly out of shape, but I couldn't remember what I actually needed to bring for an all-day hike. I mean I [...]
